Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
So it was my first Saturday back and since I did not take any days off after my return from Argentina that makes yesterday the first day to enjoy the family all day long. We got up and the wife made pancakes and bacon and even let me have the extra cup of coffee (since our pot only seems to make enough for 5 cups of coffee). Then we headed out to a mall in Dallas. The wife and kids had gone there last Saturday (without me of course) and the daughter really wanted to show me...
...the Mall Ducks. Yes this mall has ducks (and turtles too). The Mall Ducks draw quite a crowd. Especially young children. Young children of parents who can afford to shop in this kind of mall. Now this is a very high society mall and contains stores that I have no business being in (like Nordstrom's, Barney's of New York, Neiman Marcus, and even an entire store just for Lancôme!). Really, there is no reason that I should ever (EVER) be in any of these stores (ever). Prices are incredible and I don't even feel worthy to darken the doorway of the entrances of these places. This reminds me of the feeling I had while in the Admiral's Club of American Airlines during my layover in Santiago, Chile. I don't know why I have such an inferiority complex when I am out of my league. The children of the parents who can afford to shop at this mall are terribly misbehaved (even resorting to throwing change AT the ducks WITHOUT any discipline from their parents after watching them do this). But even with all of this I will probably go back to the mall just to see these ducks!
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
Jon
